Clinicopathological Features and Outcomes of IgA Nephropathy with Hematuria and/or Minimal Proteinuria

Conclusions: Severe renal histological injury may be observed in some IgAN patients with benign clinical characteristics. Proteinuria is an independent predictor of severe renal pathological injury in IgAN patients with mild proteinuria. More severe pathological injury (> Grade II, Hass classification) are predictors of poor prognosis.Kidney Blood Press Res 2015;40:200-206
